Everywhere I turn there are adverts for anti-ageing creams, wrinkle smoothing serums, line fillers, magical (and extortionate) miracle cures, blah blah blah. They must give so many women a huge complex, like there’ s something wrong with getting older or with it showing. 

I don’t get it. I think a few crow’s feet and laughter lines show that someone’s had some good times and life experiences. Nothing to be ashamed of about that; I’m fairly wrinkle free but I wouldn’t mind having a few more. There’s something dignified about seeing someone’s life in their face, I think. Of course if you’ve smoked 60 a day since you were 15 that’s a different matter….

And why doesn’t anyone tell all those people who have plastic surgery that they don’t look young, they look like they’ve had plastic surgery?

Will Rogers, 1879-1935, cowboy, actor, philanthropist
